Located slightly off the main safari route, Tarangire National Park is a lovely, quiet gem of a park in Northern Tanzania. Tarangire meaning ‘river of warthogs’ is most famous for its elephants, birding and plentitude of baobab trees. It’s authentic, untouched Africa at its best.
Tarangire is one of Africa’s most underrated safari areas and has reportedly the largest concentration of elephants in the world and Tanzania’s best birding destination with over 450 bird species.
